Did you see the spider in the image :)
Jacques Cornell: Oh, great! My metadata presets are gone, too! Way to go Adobe!
I just read that this was one of the "fixes"
Develop
Fixed – Unable to export user-created / custom Develop presets (Mac only).
I guess they took care of them by deleting them. This way you don't have to worry about exporting them any more ;)

Do you have the 6.6 box or the CC version?

Same here. I wonder if it could have to do with the fonts that I use and if they are not supported anymore?
But the speed improvement flicking through images in the develop module is nice!

Mine are gone, too. Did you realize this only after the update? And are you on a Mac or PC?
Kudos to Epson for finally updating this "Pro" scanner(s)! The V600 & V550 had long overtaken it in terms of LED and speed.
But the biggest shortcoming of the V800/850 has not been discussed. The new holders may be more sturdy but they also hold fewer film strips!!!
The 35mm negativ holder looses one strip (from 4 to 3) of 6 frames and the MF 120 film holder looses 1 strip from 2 to 1!!!
This kills one of the mayor advantages for me why I want a flatbed scanner: batch scanning!
May as well go for a V550. It will have a bit less resolution but flatbed are no resolution kings to begin with.
Why has the development team chosen to take film strips out from the holders???
No offense to the staff who shot those snapshots. But this lens is capable of much better portrait quality in natural light SOOC!
I have been using it for 2 month now.

Kodachrome200: The #1 reason i bought the iPad was to have an easy way to show people especially clients and potential clients images on the retina display. This is a absolutley beautiful way to make that easy. i love it
And the camera connection kit allows you to upload your photos directly to the iPad and show photos to your clients. And there are even some very nice Portfolio apps to arrange them into projects and look pretty for less than $5. And you get to keep the app without having to renew anything ;)
The CC renting software discussion aside, what serious photographer would really use an iPad to integrate a photo workflow?
We have color calibrated and profiled monitors and printes (labs) to get a consisten color and contrast results and now we want to trust an unpfofiled iPad display???
I got a replacement unit from Apple the other day and held my old and new (replacement) unit next to each other inside the Apple store. The new display was at least 800 kelvin warmer than the old one! This will seriously flaw your results when the file is loaded back to your Mac.
To me LR for iOS is a more of a toy than a serious solution.
String: So half the names on here bitching about Adobe have no issue giving Canikon $2000 plus every time a new camera comes out but balk at subscribing to the most powerful/useful software out there at $10/month?
Unbelievable...
$99 bought me a non time restricted version of LR.
Most of these photos are not focused the way a portrait photographer would focus them - straight on the closest eye.
On this one the teeth and glasses are most in focus. And the lighting on the venue seems to have been pretty bad (only from top giving bright foreheads and dark eyes).
The lighting could have been compensated by exposing for the eyes maybe +1.5 stops on this photo (uppinf the ISO to 640), but blowing the highlights at the same time...

From that distance and f1.2 wide open I find the DOF still too great to separate subjects enough. That is why I will not go below APS-C for shallow DOF work.

The new "high speed wide angle lens" only at f2.8???
We have the XF 18mm at f2 and the XF 14mm at f2.8 already.
I have a feeling that we are talking f1.4 - 1.8 here :)
I suspect it to be a 16mm f1.4. It's the classic 24mm f1.4 equivalent to the Canon and Nikon fast wide angle lenses.
ijustloveshooting: if it had an effective image stabilization like sony sel50 has, it would be my reason to switch to Fuji...a dream low light street lens, it would be...
In street situations you have to choose your shutter speed according to people movement in order not to get blurry images. 1/100s or faster should eliminate visible camera shake and most motion blur.
An IS would be useful for landscape and this will not be the domain of this lens.
So if you are a street photographer, the lack of IS does seem to be neglectible. ;)
